Just In Case Anyone Was Wondering, Here's What I Think About The Movie "Batman Rising" ,

dark knight was good but rises was bad because it had a fundamental flaw, which is that the villain had two motives. he simultaneously wanted to (a) institute some sort of socialist revolution (b) nuke everybody. it doesn't really make any sense. also the pit scene was bad. the movie was bad



and why take over the city for 3 months before setting the nuke off if that's what he wanted to do all along? So Nolan could draw hack parallels about OWS and the french revolution. This is garbage filmmaking

dark knight was watchable, but rises was really corny for the first half, tried to fit a bunch of shit in. homeboy straps on a thing that fixes his knee that has no cartilage and they never mention it again lol



lol i actually have one of those for the very same reason: http://www.phc-online.com/Adjustable_Knee_Brace_p/powercentric_37-109.htm (it doesnt work)

i like the part where the literal hellspawn of some middle-eastern black hole of suffering and despair tries to murder every single person in lower manhattan, oh and manipulates them with insincere populist rhetoric. the batmans are so unselfconscious in invoking the darkest parts of american political psychodrama that i sometimes wonder if nolan even realizes that he's doing it. it's just there as the window-dressing that lends the movie an edge of "realness" and "ambiguity", and elevates it in popular consciousness. the evidence is that nobody can ever agree what perspective he's coming from when he underlines his films with the specter of terrorism or the rhetoric of occupy; disappointingly, there really is nothing to it because christopher nolan is not a smart man and almost everybody who has ever seen one of his batman movies has thought more about these problems than he has. omg is batman really a hero?, some people might say. of course he is, everybody else in the damn movies is trying to murder the entire city for no apparent reason - made up things like "the league of shadows" and "nihilism" - and he saves them; this universe is no more complicated than a superman comic, it's just a fraud is all.

that's actually wasn't a problem because a) was 1) totally insincere and 2) auxiliary to b), which was the motive of an separate villain who was the master of bane.

yeah it was like pretty much every other superhero movie, a totally forgetable vehicle for CGI and violence. but no one here is talking about spiderman

wow. sure is a lot of people here that went to watch a movie that they thought sucked. I have watched Rises yet, but when I will I'll probably be entertained. Cause that's what I do when I watch a movie based on a comic book character. I watch that kind of movie to be entertained. Not to find some deep commentary on gay hitler's black daughter or whatever.

youre right, im wrong about the genius multilayered subtext of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, but thats what i get for not being able to hear or understand 80% of its dialogue

There are no believable characters in Star Wars, says superabound, farting loudly and wiping his cheeto'd hand on his jorts. I mean first you have a wooki,e which doesn't even exist in real life. Then you have a gy who can move shit with his mind, which we all know is impossible. Finally, for some reason the dudes on the Death Star sometimes have british accents but they never explain where they come from. Why not just use a standard accent across the board so as not to confuse anybody? Also, those costumes are ridiculous and TOTALY unbelievable



ok now that weve established George Lucas as your golden standard by which all other directors are judged, what exactly could Stanley Kubrick have done to be more like him, instead of dying a deplorable misogynist whose poorly crafted sci-fi "epics" will never stand up to the cinema perfection of Star Wars

christopher nolan pitching inception: "it's a movie that takes place entirely in dreams! but wait, here's that nolan twist you've been waiting for - all the dreams are conventional action movie setpieces!"
